Ainat [17]

B. 0.6 computers

Explanation:

A. The opportunity cost incurred by the US to make cars is the number of computers it would have to give up to make a car.

The US can either make 12 cars or 4 computers. For every car made therefore the US forgoes;

= 4/12

= 1/3 computers.

You are a self-employed profit-maximizing consultant specializing in monopolies. Five firms are currently seeking your advice, a
djverab [1.8K]

Answer:

The answer is option A) The short run recommendation for a monopolistic firm is to remain at the current output level

Explanation:

In the short run, monopolistic firms could record losses but still continue to run in anticipation of a sustainable profit in the long run.

A self-employed profit-maximizing consultant specializing in monopolies understands that the short run losses experienced in a monopoly is also an advantage in that it reduces the participation of more players in the same industry/ market segment.

The best recommendation would be to remain at the current output level during the short run to cut losses, sustain patronage and then develop a long term strategy that will guarantee profitability in the long run.

Jeff recently drove to visit his parents who live 160 miles away. on his way there his average speed was 9 miles per hour faster
olya-2409 [2.1K]
To answer this item, we let x be Jeff's speed when going back home. With this representation, the speed from home to his parents is x + 9. The total time it took him for the trip is 8 hours. The time of each trip can be calculated by dividing the distance by time. Such concept is presented below.
 
                             8 hours = 160/x + 160/(x + 9)

The value of x from the equation is 36. Thus, his speeds were 36 miles/h and 45 miles/h.
